TO HON.FRANKLIN BETT; EGH, MP
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, BURETI
MINISTER FOR ROADS; REPUBLIC OF KENYA.
DEC, 2010
Dear sir
REF:THE PATHETIC STATE OF ROADS IN BUNGOMA COUNTY
We the undersigned Kenyan citizens who hail from Bungoma County would like you to address the plight of Bungoma people as follows.
1) That It is with deep regret that the government seems to have deliberately decided to marginalize the people of Bungoma. We are so sad that the state of roads in the whole of western province is in very poor conditions.
2) That poor state of roads has contributed highly to road mortality especially among the jobless youth who end up venturing into motorbike transport business. The same is the reason as to why there is a very high tear and wear rate to the vehicles that use these roads regularly.
3) That a number of us have been to other parts of the country and we feel that Bungoma County appears to be deliberately marginalized when it comes to the development of infrastructure.
4) That we demand immediate action by the government to start working on the road Network from Eldoret town up to the interior parts of western part OF this country.
5) It should be noted that most of the roads that were tarmacked in 1990s are very dilapidated. It is very disturbing that the roads especially in the Bungoma and TranzNzoia counties are impassable thus hindering transport and communication. This poor state of the roads has highly contributed to slowed economic growth in the region and highly compromised road safety.
6) We want the minister to personally come and asses this situation and act with maximum speed and minimum delay.
7) We demand that the government acts immediately on this matter, and through the minister’s office, we believe that justice in fair provision of government services will be made.
8) The roads in question include BUT NOT limited to the following:
| Bungoma-Mumias-Kakamega |
